plugins folder : TW + Node.JS

[Mohammad Rahmani]

On Node.JS Tiddlywiki I have a wiki working fine!

The folder structure is like this:

mywiki

-- tiddlers

-- plugins

-- tiddlywiki.info

In the plugins folder I have plugins like below

-- plugins

----relink

----kookma

------slider

----chooser

relink, slider, and chooser are my plugins which have a correct TW structure and tested separately!

The plugins are directly under plugins folder all work fine. but those are in subfolder are not loaded and warning message is shown when I start the wiki as below

tiddlywiki mywiki --listen

In brief HOW plugins stored in subfolders under plugins folder can be loaded into mywiki?

Best wishes

Mohammad

- mywiki

-- plugins

-- -- subfolder1

-- -- -- plugin1

-- -- -- plugin2

-- -- pluginx

-- -- pluginy

The problem is with plugin1 and plugin2.

Hi Mohammad

Plugin folders must be immediate children of the wiki “plugins” folder. In other words, you’ll have to move the “slider” plugin folder to be a sibling of “relink”, “kookma” and “chooser”.

Jeremy.

Hi Jeremy!

 Thanks for clarification! It seems there is an exception!

If plugins are installed in Tiddlywiki/plugins (the root for tw under node.js) we can have 

-plugins

---tiddlywiki

--- -- plugin1

--- -- plugin2

---kookma

--- -- slider

Best wishes

Hi Mohammad

 Thanks for clarification! It seems there is an exception!

Right, the “plugins” folder in the root of the main repo is not the same as a “plugins” folder within a wiki folder.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

TW has 4 environment variables, that are read at server startup. see: https://tiddlywiki.com/#Environment%20Variables%20on%20Node.js

So you can have your 3rd party plugins where you want. eg:

-tw-plugins

---wikilabs

--- -- plugin1

---kookma

--- -- slider

Set the environment to: tw-plugins and you can include plugins in tiddlywiki.info in the same way as you would include tiddlywiki plugins. Environment variables can contain several different 3rd-party directories.

eg:

    "plugins": [
        "tiddlywiki/tiddlyweb",
        "tiddlywiki/filesystem",
        "kookma/slider"
    ],

Be aware, that environment PATH settings are different in unix and windows systems!!!!!

have fun!

Using the environment variables is very convenient, since it is a global setting. So every --server command can find your 3rd party stuff.

It also allows us to include plugins into tiddlywiki.info using the "defacto standard" for plugins, which is

$:/plugins/<author>/<plugin-name>

well noted!

Thank you
